Gallery of log for ST135 ONE O CLOCK HILL
Hi Alby
Today I decided to target two caches; TP7243 and TP7244
This was the second of the two that was targeted - had I done this cache first, the second would not have been done; it was that hard
Followed Alby's instructions to the letter but couldn't find the log he was describing; so decided to go it "solo"
There were no tracks to the top and I couldn't even find a wallaby track to follow
May I quote the master "It was a struggle to get to this trig." - I concur totally and it probably should NOT be done alone as I did
From where you go bush off the 4 wheel drive track; it was roughly 366 metres to the top as the crow flies - probably the hardest 366 metres I've done
The last 50 or so metres were even tougher - I turned into a MOUNTAIN GOAT; hanging on by toes at one stage of the ascent
Came down on a different route but eventually got back to 4 wheel drive track after bashing my way up and down
I Sainted the cache at 1453 hours and enjoyed the magnificent views from the top
Sorry I wasn't there at 1300 hours
After taking my pics I got out as quickly as I could to traverse the terrain before I "GOT LOST!"
You will know what I mean when you do the cache
The whole trip took me over 173.8 kms by car and I walked 21.97 kms to cover the caches by shank's pony using 29921 steps burning 2605 calories
Loved walking the tracks except for the spiders webs I walked through Sometimes the tracks were overgrown - saw no animals nor snakes - plenty of birds singing; three black cockies flew over on the way in.
The flora was magnificent
TFTC and cheers
